When in worry, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout - Random Update
Ugh.
Just so it's official: I hate looking for work. :(
I've put it off as long as possible, but if I want money in July, I'd better have a job in June. Crap. Anyway, I've put in applications to two specific jobs, and threw my resume into the general pool at another place. I've also spent an hour or so this morning grazing through Workopolis.com.
Let me repeat: I HATE LOOKING FOR WORK!!! I just don't know how to sell myself, and I always end up thinking "oh my god - I have no skills! I'll be living on the street soon - or worse: with one of my siblings! I'll have to eat the cats just to stay alive!" Okay. Maybe not the last bit - *groans and laughs*.
I don't know why I get so stressed out about it. I'm reasonably intelligent, reasonably competent and reasonably skilled. I'm willing to learn new things and actually like being in a new environment (most of the time). And I know I'll get something - as I've told several people: I've scrubbed toilets before, I can do it again. I just really can't deal with the stress of cover letters and assessing whether I can do the work described in the job ad. *rocks in the corner*
Sigh.
Okay. Enough of that. I'm going to go watch more Get Smart (almost finished Season 2!) and work on something that has nothing to do with employment!! On a lighter note, I do have an original fic niggling in my brain: a romantic comedy "starring" Nathan Fillion and Michelle Rodriguez...not sure yet how much of a comedy it'll be, actually, but the characters are definitely starting to gel in my head. Unfortunately, at the moment, Nathan's character is a bit too much like Castle but that will likely change as I write the thing. LOL
I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad about this new fic; I SHOULD be writing the sequel to A Life Less Ordinary (not to mention fic for the BigBang I have looming on the horizon), but then look:
They're adorable!!! How can I resist writing about them?!?! ;P I'll post a plot synopsis once I've actually articulated it in my own head - LOL.
Have a great rest of the weekend everybody!
